In 2010 his Mood Muzik mixtape series graduated from the underground when the eOne label released Mood Muzik, Vol. Featuring Budden with Crooked I, Joell Ortiz, and Royce da 5'9', the self-titled album from the hip-hop supergroup Slaughterhouse followed in August, and then he returned to his solo career in October with Escape Route. A year later fans were greeted with a flurry of activity, beginning in February when his album Padded Room landed in stores. His next album would remain in limbo until late 2008 when the Halfway House mixtape arrived with an announcement that the rapper had signed with Amalgam Digital. Unfortunately, a changing of the guard at Def Jam meant the executives who had signed Budden were gone. While all of this was going down, industry heavyweight Def Jam signed Budden and prepared his self-titled debut album, which charted well its opening week, earned some critical support, and foreshadowed a bright future for the refreshingly unique rapper.
